Description

A tantalizing mix of tender chicken and vibrant vegetables in a bold, peppery sauce that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Chicken
  2. Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
  3. 2. Marinate the Chicken
  4. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for better flavor).
  5. 3. Sauté Your Veggies
  6. While the chicken marinates, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets; sauté until slightly tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  7. 4. Cook the Chicken
  8. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet with veggies. Sauté everything together until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  9. 5. Final Touches
  10. Once cooked through, sprinkle with additional freshly ground black pepper to enhance flavor.
  11. 6. Serve It Up
  12. Transfer to plates or a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
